Overview:
Three chasers, Entebbe UPPC, SC Villa and KCCA are six points adrift although that could change pending decisions in the game between Kitara and Vipers that was never played and then Kitara vs KCCA where the former allegedly fielded Patrick Kaddu yet he was not on the submitted team sheets.
Vipers, despite playing a game less leads the table as we head into the second round of the 2025/26 StarTimes Uganda Premier League as they look to win an 8th league title.
Three chasers, Entebbe UPPC, SC Villa and KCCA are six points adrift although that could change pending decisions in the game between Kitara and Vipers that was never played and then Kitara vs KCCA where the former allegedly fielded Patrick Kaddu yet he was not on the submitted team sheets.
As we embark on the second round in 10 days, here are some interesting statistics from the first round.
Who scored the most goals?
Table leaders and champions Vipers lead here with 32 goals scored in 14 league matches. That is an average of 2.28 goals per game.

From a player’s perspective, Entebbe UPPC’s Ambrose Kigozi leads the charts with 8 goals. Stunningly, his goals have come in the last nine matches.
Who scored the least goals?
As you would expect, Calvary who sit bottom of the log with only four points have netted the least goals; 6 in 15 matches. That averages 0.33 goals per game.
Who has the most wins?
Again, table leaders Vipers lead in this column with 11 wins in 14 matches and they are the only side yet to lose a match this season.
The chasing pack; Villa, Entebbe UPPC, KCCA and Police are all on nine wins having played a game more than the Venoms.
Calvary FC has the least victories; zero in 15 league matches.

Longest streak without scoring a goal
That unwanted record is held by four-time champions URA at the moment after going a record seven matches without finding the back of the net.
That is 630 minutes since their last goal when Kabon Living scored in the 90th minute in their 7-3 triumph over Buhimba United Saints.
